Adopt-A-Roadway Clean-up
Next Clean-up in June

Eight Flags Jeep Club is committed to removing litter on our mile-long stretch of Amelia Island Parkway four times a year in cooperation with Keep Nassau Beautiful. With the population of Nassau County growing & more traffic, that unfortunately means more trash along the roadways. So Eight Flags is doing it's part to keep our community clean & great!
Members- We will be cleaning the portion of the Parkway between the roundabout at 14th & Buccaneer Trail. Meet at approx. the halfway point. We will provide safety vests, litter pickers & garbage bags. Wear sturdy shoes & bring work gloves. Be sure to wear your safety
yellow "Clean-up Crew" t-shirt. If you have not yet received one, we'll have one available for you at the venue.
Breakfast after the clean-up for all Jeep Club Volunteers and be sure to keep an eye out for the hidden marked golf balls somewhere along the clean-up area worth $20 cash each!

Come be a part of the
"Clean-up Crew"!

Eight Flags Jeep Club has taken a stand and joined hundreds of other Jeep enthusiasts by becoming an official "Tread Lightly!" member to keep the outdoors healthy, open and accessible and to promote safe and responsible four-wheeling.
TREAD PRINCIPLES:
Travel Responsibly on land by staying on designated roads, trails and area.
Respect the Rights of Others including private property owners, all recreational trail users, campers & others so they can enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed.
Educate Yourself prior to your trip by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies.
Avoid Sensitive Areas on land such as meadows, lake shores, wetlands & streams. Stay on designated routes.
Do Your Part by modeling appropriate behavior, leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species and repairing degraded areas.


MEET OUR NEW
EIGHT FLAGS JEEP CLUB CERT TEAM!

The Jeep CERT team can assist Nassau County law enforcement & Emergency Mgmt as civilian volunteers by contributing their time, vehicles and off-road skills. Jeeps can help cover terrain that would be inaccessible to most patrol vehicles. Members completed a 12-13 hr on-line program and a two-day classroom hands/on which included basic first aid techniques, fire safety, disaster & emergency response skills, team organization and a practical tornado disaster simulation.






We had 15 Eight Flags Jeeps- great event for a great cause!
